Depends on the model. Inside the control box in the outdoor AC unit you'll find the capacitor and a contactor. (as well as a small circuit board if it's a heat pump)
The capacitor is shaped like a soda can, but smaller and has three terminals on the top where wires connect to it. (usually there are 4 or 5 wires)
It's pretty common for capacitors to fail, especially if you've had unsteady power supply, like a power surge, or loss of power from a storm or something.
